Game room and Arcade
« on: November 18, 2020, 10:02:59 PM »
Finally able to finish my basement.  Still haven't brought the slots over from our storage but will start this week and update some photos once settled in.   Planned this project out around the arcade and slot machine placements.  The electrical, outlets and lighting were placed to accompany the machines, i have more outlets than you've ever seen, ran a new subpanel and ran all 20amp breakers for the games.  Ceiling lights are placed with game locations in mind to the provide right lighting, also have 4 zones of light dimmers and switches to separate off each space.    Upgraded the rear door from a 32" to a 36" to accommodate any and all games!   fortunately we have a walkout basement, no stairs at all to contend with.     The floor is vinyl over concrete so no concerns with weight. 


The bathroom is almost done, finished up tile last week and will set fixtures next week.    I also finished off under stairs for a play area for my 5 yr old daughter.  My 12 yr old son has moved the Xbox 1 down here to the new 75' Tv  so I've lost my quiet safe space.    I've also managed to create plenty of storage and have a small work space for game repairs and upgrades etc.   ive slowly been moving some items over from the storage and other location, my wife has no idea how much there is.   I have another 10 arcade cabinets that most likely wont be able to come here yet.   The 6 slots will definitely make it here.     I have a 4 player pong cocktail table game already here but its not in these pics.    The gumball machine in back is an original Saturn Rocket from the early 60's.


more to come, just happy to share the photos and information and be back on the site.

First off, I am seriously jealous of people who have basements! There are no basements in Phoenix. Super nicely done planning, layout and craftsmanship! Only thing I would change is the mini trampoline. I would suggest a full size Dance Dance Revolution machine!!! LOL.

            Whoa, HO!  A "Dance Revolution".   I used to watch the kids dancing on those things...great!!     I often thought a TV in the bathroom (so I wouldn't miss any of the good episodes of Twilight Zone).     Now for now I would like a United Shuffle Bowl (but the space it would take up, shipping  charges would be prohibitive.....+ my wife would kill me).  Maybe a "Crane" or a "Coin Pusher".   Nice nice....fun!!   Still looking for a player piano (maybe a Spinet size).



                                                                                   Best regards,




                                                                                  Robert P.

I agree that a DDR would be great. You can find these on the local used market for the same reasons - big and heavy - subsequently expensive to ship and store.
I bought my Pinball from a route operator in PA who was downsizing to smaller video cabinets that he could move around with a dolly. Check local newspapers (online) and Craigs list.

You can also get a Dance Mat for the Wii.
I bought 2x third party mats that were fully wireless and my kids loved them, and they were about a 1/3 of the cost of the Nintendo ones.
I didn't have high hopes but they were good.


I also got a third party Wii sensor bar that I put on top of the 120" projection screen.
Again I was skeptical that it would work as it was wireless but the USB between the one that comes with the WII and the WII is only to supply power.
The bar itself is simply IR light that is picked up by the WII hand controls.


Kids are grown, and moved on..... but that is another story.
